Langston Hughes - Madam and the Census Man
Work rating: Medium

The census man, 
The day he came round,
Wanted my name
To put it down.

I said, JOHNSON,
ALBERTA K.
But he hated to write 
The K that way.

He said, What
Does K stand for?
I said, K--
And nothing more.

He said, I`m gonna put it
KÐAÐY.
I said, If you do,
You lie.

My mother christened me
ALBERTA K.
You leave my name
Just that way!

He said, Mrs.,
(With a snort)
Just a K
Makes your name too short.

I said, I don`t
Give a damn!
Leave me and my name
Just like I am!

Furthermore, rub out
That MRS., too--
I`ll have you know
I`m Madam to you!
